The Start Delay workflow option is now generally available. This feature is particularly useful for scheduling a Workflow to execute in the future, with a single execution, as opposed to recurring Workflows that use Schedules.
Key Details:
Scheduling Execution: The Start Delay option allows you to delay the dispatch of the initial Workflow Execution. This is set in the Workflow Options field of the SDK of your choice.
Signal Handling:
If the Workflow receives a Signal-With-Start during the delay, a Workflow Task is dispatched, and the remaining delay is bypassed.
If the Workflow receives a Signal that is not a Signal-With-Start during the delay, it is ignored, and the Workflow continues to be delayed until the delay expires or a Signal-With-Start is received.
This feature provides more flexibility in managing Workflow execution timing, ensuring that future executions can be precisely scheduled and managed.
